This page explains how Project.co ensures the security and privacy of your data and collaborations. This will help you manage who can access your projects, files, and communications, ensuring your information remains secure and visible only to the intended audience.
Project.co utilizes distinct user roles to control what each person can see and do within the platform. Your assigned role dictates your default access and capabilities. - : This role possesses the highest level of administrative access. Individuals with this role can manage other users, assign roles, and adjust permissions across the platform.
- : Members with the Team role are internal team members who have broad access within the platform, typically to most internal projects and shared resources.
- : This role is designated for external users, typically your clients. Clients have limited access, restricted to specific projects and content they are invited to.
- : This role is for other external collaborators who require specific, controlled access to certain parts of the platform or particular projects.
Your role determines your baseline permissions, but administrators can further customize these permissions for individual users.
Project.co provides granular control over the privacy of your content, allowing you to specify who can view various elements within your projects. - : When you create or manage a project, you can define its overall privacy level:
- : The project is visible to all members of your internal team and any specific individuals you explicitly invite to that project.
- : The project is exclusively visible to the specific individuals you invite, regardless of whether they are part of your internal team.
- : For individual files and folders within a project, you can control their visibility:
- : Any person invited to the project can view the file or folder.
- : Only specific individuals you invite can view the file or folder.
- : When initiating a discussion, you can choose its audience:
- : The discussion is visible to everyone who has access to the project.
- : The discussion is visible only to specific individuals you invite to that discussion.
- : Similar to discussions, notes have privacy options:
- : The note is visible to everyone who has access to the project.
- : The note is visible only to specific individuals you invite to view that note.
- : Tasks include specific visibility settings, particularly relevant for client interaction:
- : The task is visible to clients associated with the project.
- : The task is not visible to clients and is intended for internal team use only.
Administrators have comprehensive control over user accounts within Project.co . They can manage user status and access as follows: - : This action removes a user's active access to the platform but retains their associated data. Archived users do not count towards active user limits on paid plans.
- : An archived user can be reactivated, restoring their previous access and permissions.
- : This action irreversibly removes a user and all their associated data from the system. This is a permanent and non-recoverable action.
Changes to user roles and account statuses are managed by administrators. For paid plans, ensuring sufficient user seats are available is required when restoring users or changing roles that consume seats.
Project.co is engineered to ensure the security of your data. Access to information is strictly controlled based on assigned user roles and the specific privacy settings you apply to your projects, files, discussions, notes, and tasks. Your personal account settings also allow you to manage notification preferences, ensuring you receive relevant updates without being overwhelmed.
